Aren't board rounds at 2:00?
These aren't board rounds. I just want to remind you all of a few things, OK? So we do a great job coming up with the right diagnosis and treatment plan for our patients, but there are still some opportunities for improvement.
Not this bullshit again.
First off, always sit down at the bedside of a stable patient. It will make you a better doctor. Second, if there's a discharge to be done, do it before you pick up a new patient. The patients are very aware of the time that they spend with us, so please don't keep them here any longer than they need to be.
They complain about the wait.
I get it, but for the sake of efficiency and running smoothly on our end and opening up beds and opening up rooms, let's discharge before we start with somebody new, OK? Thank you. Lastly, in your medical records, make sure that your decision-making and your notes reflect not just the diagnosis but all the thought that you put into ruling out all the critical illnesses in the differential.
More work? I do enough charting as it is.
The hospital won't admit this, but it's less about charting and more about profit.
OK? Good. That's it. Goodbye. Go.
